James & Abba are the first team to depart, they head to a market to find a vendor that sells egg plant.
The clue tells the teams to head to a ferry next. Abbie & Ryan are heading to the market, Natalie & Nadiya are just behind them. James & Abba are the first ones to arrive at the Roadblock. Build a balance scale, where teams have to properly balance out wood and stones. It’s a tough task, but James & Abba are still in the lead.
Abbie & Ryan, Natalie & Nadiya are trying to put their balance together while Trey & Lexi have just left the pit stop and have a lot of ground to make up.
James & Abba get their next clue, it’s a Detour; Straw Dogs where teams have to untangle straw in a factory and put it through a machine or Bamboo Dogs that teams to collect 40 pieces of bamboo and load them on a bike and drive themselves to a local construction site.
James & Abba decide to do the Bamboo Dogs, while all the other teams have yet to get to the Detour. James & Jaymes, Rob & Kelly have finally got their clue to head to the ferry to build the scale. Josh & Brent are having a hard time, they can’t seem to find where they have to go.
Natalie & Nadiya, James & James are headed to do the Bamboo Dogs Detour, while James & Abba have just finished and received their next clue, a picture of a building that is the next pit stop for this leg of the race.
Abbie & Ryan have arrived at Jute Mill to do the Detour, Straw Dogs. Trey & Lexi have made good time, they are finished the Roadblock and are heading to the Detour before Josh & Brent and Rob & Kelly.
James & Abba are team number one again and have won a trip for two to Malaysia’s rain forest. Phil asks James about his dead and wants to know if he thought about quitting but James says that his family wants him to keep going and not to quit.
Josh & Brent are the only team left at the Roadblock and are very frustrated. Abbie & Ryan have finished the Detour and have their clue to head to the Pit Stop, they arrive in second place. Josh & Brent are facing new problems, dehydration and they are in last place, but they are not quitters.
Natalie & Nadiya are the third team to arrive at the Pit Stop, while James & Jaymes forgot three bamboos and have to go back and get them, this will definitely give Trey & Lexi time to beat them.
Rob & Kelley are the fourth team to arrive at the Pit Stop while James & Jaymes have found their three bamboos and are headed back. Trey & Lexi are team number five at the Pit Stop, it is between Josh & Brent and James & Jaymes.
James & Jaymes are team number six, this means that Josh & Brent are the last team to arrive but this is a non-elimination leg and they get the chance to continue. Sometime in the next leg in the race, they will encounter a Speed Bump which they will have to complete.
The end!
